Adolescence can be a tricky time. As middle schoolers and teens navigate these years, their self-regulation skills come into play while they try to figure out if a risk is worth the reward. In this session, we'll discuss how to help youth refine their self-regulation skills so they can make positive decisions.
Tantrums and meltdowns and whining, oh my! Many times, these behaviors are signs that kids are working on developing their self-regulation skills. In this webinar, we’ll present strategies you can use to teach children self-regulation and decrease some behaviors that can be difficult to redirect.
When children persistently use concerning behavior, it can be a strong indicator that they do not have the skills to manage their big emotions and are unable to self-regulate. This webinar will describe how brain responses and concerning behavior are linked to self-regulation and provide strategies staff can use to refuel children’s regulation tanks and improve self-regulation skills.
Did you know the #1 topic KIT makes recommendations about is self-regulation? We often talk about self-regulation and coping skills interchangeably, but are they? And why is it that so many of the children and youth you serve seem to need help with self-regulation? Join us to learn what self-regulation is and how you can contribute to supporting self-regulation in your classroom or program. Note: this course is an overview for all ages. Additional topics will be available in the coming months for age-specific self-regulation practices.
Children and youth have a lot of demands placed on them in a group setting: follow the routine, respond to social cues, and listen to and communicate with others. Often, children do not have the coping skills they need to handle the stresses they encounter. This webinar will highlight ways to teach children coping skills through modeling and activities for all ages.
The Tween (9-12) and Teen (13-18) years can be a stressful time in life. It’s the perfect time for parents, teachers, and involved adults to teach tweens and teens problem-solving skills, how to regulate emotions, and positive coping mechanisms. Learning and applying these skills are necessary for teens to become responsible and productive adults in the community.
